Is it possible that this mod game the death claws insane amounts of hitpoints? I keep finding deathclaws (stock dc's, not things like deathgecks, wereclaws, etc. added by other mods) that have in excess of 12000 hit points. I never remember seeing this problem before I got this mod. I will continue investigating.....
I've had the some problem but the areas where it occurs are different. Why I do not know since I can't find any thing that causes the problem. All you can do is avoid that area for a while.
(I really hate that there is no way to get a log file, as far as I know at least.)
Enhanced Gameplay 1.6 Features List Compiled 28 Jan 2011 by GalenZ
The following list of features is taken from looking at the EnchancedGameplay.esp file using FNVEdit, and should in no way be taken as complete, neccessarily accurate, or in any way approved by iztari, the creator of the mod.
For the most part, the main thrust of EGP seems to be enhancing the behaviors of NPCs, changing factions, adding more appropriate loot to vendors and containers, and defining new navmeshes for many areas, which are changes that do not significantly alter game balance.There are also a few bug fixes, such as making a few weapon criticals more appropriate, and always giving an ear when killing legionaries. In addition, many cute but totally inconsequential things have been added to the game, such as the fact that ravens now look for bodies, NPCs put on nightwear before sleeping, and many new notes are found in mailboxes.
However, there are are a few significant changes in EGP that could be regarded as unbalancing, especially if you're not expecting them: Skill books can now often be purchased from vendors at a base cost of 50 caps, making them far from rare any more. Holy Frag Grenades can be found in loot. Sniper Rifles have had their damage restored to old value of 62, which is 50% more than the latest official game patch value of 42. Boone has been made significantly more deadly. Companion NPCs now level at 1.0X player level, not 0.75 as in last official patch, and some have had stat boosts. Rex has been made significantly less dangerous, almost to the point of uselessness. Binoculars now have Rex's 'Search and Mark' park built in. Chinese Stealth Armor now has a full stealth field effect, like in FO3. Stun grenades cause paralysis.
Because of the breadth of changes made by this mod, it should be regarded as an 'overhaul' mod, and positioned in your load order either quite late (if you want all its changes to override other mods) or quite early (if you want you other mods, especially other overhauls such as FOOK, to take precedence).
For those who have the time and skill, I think the best solution is to use Wyre Flash to create a Bashed Patch to merge this mod with others, and then to use FNVEdit to tweak any specific fatures that you do or don't want in your game.

Cells and Worldspaces Numerous changes, have not examined in detail. Numerous navmesh changes; seem to be majority of changes.
I've been using EGP since 1.2, and like it a lot. However, I agree that the lack of anything resembling a description or changelog is a huge problem, as it means I have no idea what the mod will do short of examining it record-by-record in FNVedit. For my own purposes, I'm in the process of doing just that and creating a 'features list', which I will post here.
But even though I like the mod, I have to disagree that it's 'not unbalancing'. For example, it makes skill books frequently buyable for 50 caps at vendors (with respawns), which totally destroys their in-game rarity and value. I found that unacceptable, so I patched my version to prevent it, but most players aren't able or willing to make such a patch.
If you don't list all the changes, people won't download. Those that do download and experience problems either with this mod on its own or in conflict with other mods cannot identify where the problem lies without having a full feature list unless they go into the GECK and FNVEdit and track down all your changes themselves. Just note the changes/tweaks and put them in the ReadMe, that's what it's for.
I know that many want a complete list of changes, but they are too many to list them all but they do not change the balance of the game. Most are minor changes that enhances the game play and gives the NPC's a bit more life.
With the latest version i've fixed a lot of minor bugs.

whenever i approach the scavenger platform or callville bay the game crashes.
